Chinas infiltrated most of the media. Directly or indirectly controls significant shares of the Federal Government and likely has varying degrees of influence if not outright control over various State Governments. Actually their influence overlaps a lot with the Israelis. Not to mention given the presence of CCP/China backed groups on almost every college campus in the country. It’s safe to assume portions of the Officer Corps is at the very least potentially compromised.

Chinese Companies for the most part have been allowed to operate within the U.S unmolested. And have inserted themselves as features of key industries.

The Bulk of reputable Commercial Drones for instance. Are supplied by Chinese Companies. DJI as a prime example.

We’re also more online than ever.

The U.S Military is still in the middle of Force reorganization. Transitioning into new equipment and battle Doctrine. And is grappling with continuing declining recruitment numbers. A Population that’s increasingly casualty averse.

Not to mention a significant portion of the service-age population can’t even meet bare minimum standards for conscripted cannon fodder. Let alone a Professional Volunteer Force.

And a key feature of Chinese doctrine considers everything in their economy a Strategic Asset. There’s no such thing as a ‘Civilian Company’. They’ll use the data Americans gave Chinese Companies. They’ll manipulate algorithms of the Social Media Companies they control to sew discord and distrust in the civilian population of their rivals. They’ll attack via their Subsidiaries in Countries they consider rivals. Bot nets and click farms manufacture false consensus.

But many both in Government and outside, the ones who aren’t already owned by our enemies, are still treating it like an extension of the 20th century economic and political conflict. Where traditional Western mid-late 20th century notions of political and economic doctrine somehow hold all the solutions. And to look beyond them is akin to a heresy of the highest order.
